The media reaction to Jeremy Lin and “Linsanity” was ripe to be skewered. The racial stereotype issues that came up in things like the ESPN headline controversy are sometimes dealt with better through humor than righteous indignation (or whatever your reaction of choice is). This skit nailed it.

I could be mistaken, but I think they have gone overboard on this. “Chink in the armor” has been used for years and it had nothing to do with Chinese people. Now this guy might have meant it as a derogatory comment…..but when I read it I sure didn’t take it that way.

As an AMERICAN of Chinese descent and who was exposed to racism my entire life, I’ve seen and heard it all. SNL absolutely nailed it with the extreme hypocrisy of people and especially the media. You can’t say anything remotely negative about blacks without the massive media onslaught, but blacks can make make racist comments about Asians (I’m looking at you Shaq) without a whole lot of repercussion. The skit was pretty funny.

Nofunleague, that you would presume to lecture those who take offense at ESPN’s headline is the height of ignorance and arrogance. It’s not for you tell those victims what they should take offense to. Would you tell blacks that they’re being PC when white people make monkey noises at them or throw bananas? Get a clue.
